PinoyExchange[edit]

Notability in question. I cannot find 3rd party sources in local newspapers that verifies its notability. Claim of being the Philippines' biggest message board is verified only by one site called big-boards.com (big claims require multiple sources) Lenticel ^(talk) 04:14, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - but a very weak keep, only because it seems to have enough different people editing it over the years. However I do take issue with their self-published sources (I have tagged the article) and the whole thing is a little too advert-ish for me. Re: notability, google shows over 1mm hits for that term - however only 446 are from outside the site itself, and many of those are worthless link exchange sites. But again, multiple editors.

Weak Keep: The website has an alexa ranking of under 10,000 and a Google Page Rank of 4, and the traffic within it's demographic seems very high. There are probably sources out there which can assert notability, although I have not been able to find them with a casual search. --OliverTwisted ^(Talk)(Stuff) 04:57, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. I personally consider PEx as the most popular online forum/board in the Philippine web, but then I'm not a reliable source for that assertion. :-P FWIW, PEx won the People's Choice Award for the Community category in the 2001 Philippine Web Awards: [1]. --seav (talk) 10:39, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
